The undeniable reality of the exceptional resilience of our ties is surely a phenomenon that is worth analysing," he added.While lauding the steadiness of the India-Russia ties, the minister also pointed at the paradox relationship. "The paradox is though, that precisely that the relation is so steady, this relationship is sometimes taken for granted.
